Forex and gold calculators
Work out your lot size from real entry and stop prices, test how a strategy would hold up against prop firm drawdown rules, and see which sessions are open in your own time zone. Everything runs in your browser.
XAUUSD and forex lot size calculator
Enter your balance, the percentage you are willing to lose, and the actual prices where you plan to enter and place your stop. The calculator measures the distance between them and uses each instrument's real contract size to find the largest position that keeps your loss inside that budget.
One lot of gold (XAUUSD) is 100 ounces, so a $1.00 move costs $100 per lot. EURUSD and GBPUSD lots are 100,000 units. USDJPY is quoted in yen, so the loss is converted to dollars at the entry price. BTCUSD is one coin per lot.
Why it rounds down
Brokers accept lots in steps of 0.01. The result is always rounded down, so the real risk is never more than the amount you set. The take-profit uses your reward-to-risk ratio: at 2, the target sits twice as far from entry as the stop.
Gold lot size calculator
Uses real contract sizes: 100 oz per lot for XAUUSD, 100,000 units for FX pairs, 1 BTC for BTCUSD.
Prop firm drawdown simulator
Most prop firm challenges fail on the drawdown rule, not the profit target. This simulator takes your win rate, average reward-to-risk and risk per trade, then plays out 300 random sequences of the next 100 trades.
It reports how many of those paths fell 10% below the starting balance at any point, the median result after 100 trades, and how many reached a +8% target before breaching. Faint green lines never breached; red lines did. The gold line is the median path.
How to read it
Lowering risk per trade is usually the fastest way to cut breach rates. A strategy with a positive edge can still fail often if each trade risks too much. Results change slightly each run because the trade order is random.
Drawdown & prop challenge simulator
Runs 300 random sequences of your next 100 trades and shows how often you would break a 10% max-drawdown rule.
Forex market hours in your time zone
The forex market runs 24 hours a day on weekdays, passing from Sydney to Tokyo, London and New York. The clock starts in your device's time zone (with GMT/UTC alongside), and you can switch to London, New York, Dubai, Singapore, Tokyo, Sydney or another major city to see each session in that local time, with a line marking the current minute.
Session hours follow each city's own clock, so London and New York shift by an hour automatically when daylight saving starts or ends. The note under the bars says what the current session usually means for gold.
The London and New York overlap
When both are open, gold usually sees its highest volume and largest moves of the day. It normally runs from about 12:00 to 16:00 GMT/UTC, shifting by an hour around daylight saving changes; check the clock for today's exact hours in your zone.
Pip value and profit calculator
Find what one pip is worth for a given lot size, and what a move of a set number of pips would gain or lose. A pip is 0.0001 on EURUSD and GBPUSD, 0.01 on USDJPY, 0.10 on gold and 1.00 on Bitcoin here.
For USDJPY the pip value depends on the exchange rate, so enter the current price for an accurate figure.
Spreads are part of your risk
A 2-pip spread on one lot of EURUSD costs about $20 before the trade moves. Exness Raw Spread accounts quote from 0.0 pips and charge a fixed commission per lot instead, which can be cheaper for frequent traders. Compare the account types before you choose.
